Rolling back the market : economic dogma and political choice
"Governments are busy liberating and encouraging market forces, trying to roll back the functions and expenditure of the state. Underpinning such reform programs is a range of economic dogmas stressing the necessity of continuous economic growth, liberalization of trade and capital flows, and the reduction of social welfare and marketization of collective service provision in the name of economic efficiency."--BOOK JACKET. "Rolling Back the Market provides a comprehensive critique of these and similar dogmas, exposing their very weak basis in economic theory and their perverse effect upon human welfare and public services."--Jacket
